Final answer:

To calculate the total grains of salt in two containers, multiply the number of grains in one container (5^7) by the number of containers (2), resulting in 156,250 grains of salt.

Step-by-step explanation:

If there are 57 grains of salt in one container, and a large store has 2 containers, we need to calculate the total number of grains of salt. To find this, we simply multiply the number of grains in one container by the number of containers, which is 2 in this case.

So, we calculate:

  • Number of grains in one container = 57
  • Total grains in two containers = 2 × 57 = 2 × 78,125 = 156,250

Therefore, the store has a total of 156,250 grains of salt in two containers.
